Article Marketing - Is Article Marketing A Surefire Way To Make Money Online?

Article marketing is a very easy foolproof model to follow. There's so many article marketing models to follow online and many people's whole business model is transparent. Most people don't see this and remain blind to this. If you open your eyes and model someone (note, not copy someone! But model their business model), then you are suddenly in business!

Speaking of that, I do use a pseudo name for marketing articles in niche markets. Many other Internet marketers do that too. So if you don't want people to spy on your niche marketing, use a pseudo name.

Why do so many people write a few articles and then call it a day?

People see 5 views over 3 days and think their 30 minutes spent writing article was a complete waste of time.

The article goes on to get 100-200 views or even 1000+ views after a year or so. Multiply that by 100 articles, or even 1000 articles, and imagine the traffic.

Most people hate writing, would rather spend their money on 'quick fix' traffic rather than outsourcing, or just hate the thought of contributing to an article directory's content bank. The truth is, we rely on authority sites to get traffic! That's the way it works online.

If you hate writing (and that's the excuse I often hear), then outsource your articles! It's not difficult. You don't have to do everything yourself if you want to make it online. Find a good article writer at a good cost and get your army of articles out there.

Cutting Edge Article Marketing Secrets That Will Create A Frenzy Of Buyers

There are many different ways to drive traffic to your website. The main traffic methods I would say are ppc, ezine advertising and article marketing. The only problem with the other methods of advertising is that once you stop paying your traffic will come to an end.

Now the big advantage with article marketing is that it will bring you traffic this month, the following month in fact the traffic does not stop. Once you have articles out there working consistently to build your business you can't stop the traffic to your website even if you wanted to.

Today with a recession looming people are extremely careful about the money that they spend. Consequently they will do a lot more research before they buy a product. The advantage is that when someone joins your newsletter they may not be ready to buy immediately. If they are not sure about what your product will do for them they are likely to read many of your other articles. If they find these informative enough they are very likely to purchase your product.

As the famous sales trainer Jeoffrey Gitomer once said people only buy from other people that they like know and trust. Having hundreds or thousands of articles out there will substantially build your credibility online and you will be seen as the expert in that area.

I think that this is one of the major difficulties for a newbie to get started online. If you were selling a $97 ebook how many people would actually trust you enough to buy it from you. Many of the expert marketers have lots of credibility and that is why people buy from them. Using article marketing you can level the playing field.

Targeted Article Marketing - Revealed - 5 Practical Secrets to Energize Your Article Marketing

It is no secret that article marketing is currently the best method to promote your business, build and strengthen your online credibility, and increase your sales potential.

1. Offer useful information. The only reason why people will read your articles is to get useful information that is relevant to their problems and areas of interest. So make sure that your articles are content-rich and highly targeted to the needs and demands of your readers.

2. Keep your articles short. Remember, the audiences that you serve have short attention spans. By keeping your articles short, you will be able to hold your readers' attention and get your message across as quickly as possible.

3. Communicate the benefits of your article on your title. People would not read your article if they feel that it will be just waste of their time. But if you tell them upfront that they will be getting something in return, they will most likely to consider investing their precious time and read your articles.

4. Submit your articles to highly visited publishing sites. To give your articles the exposure they deserve, submit them on article submission sites that have impressive page ranking and steady traffic. These are the sites that can increase the chances of your articles being read, picked up, and republished.

5. Use your articles in publishing your ezine. If you are leaning towards building a good, trusting relationship with your potential clients, you need to establish a constant communication by sending them valuable information from time to time. Don't wait for them to go online and search for your articles, instead send them right into their inbox.

Keyword Research - How to Create an Effective Keyword List

Part 2

Wordtracker is the most popular and effective SEO tool used by search engine marketers. WordTracker allows you to do a comprehensive search for related keywords, provides the number of searches for your keywords, then compares their popularity in the search engines with how competitive they are. Ideally you want to use keywords that receive a high number of searches but don't have many competing web sites for the same keyword.

Using the free trial at WordTracker my comprehensive search for Spanish Shirts generates this list:

1. spanish shirts
2. spanish clubs
3. football shirts
4. overseas clubs
5. ebay
6. online shopping
7. online auction
8. apparel
9. spanish
10. t-shirts
11. sports memorabilia
12. ebay.co.uk
13. Spanish
14. real madrid
15. tshirt

The enhanced version would display 285 keywords here. If I click on Spanish Shirts I get a table showing keywords taken from all Dogpile & Metacrawler queries over the last 90 days.

Count = 4 This shows the number of times a particular keyword has appeared in the database.

E.g. The database currently holds 327967786 words. A count of 4 tells you that this particular word has appeared 4 times (this is over 90 days). The keywords are taken from major metacrawlers (a service that queries all the main search engines simultaneously).

Predict = 7 This is the maximum total predicted traffic for all of the major search engines/pay per bids and directories today.

Since Spanish Shirts generates a small number of searches, I will search on a broader term ie Spanish or T-Shirts

Spanish

spanish 3407 6009
spanish dictionary 3183 5614
spanish translator 2295 4048
spanish music lyrics 2114 3728
spanish translation 1892 3337
spanish english dictionary 1352 2384
english to spanish 1049 1850 dig
spanish to english dictionary 1040 1834
spanish to english 1033 1822
spanish babes 990 1746
learn spanish 989 1744
spanish american war 987 1741
english to spanish translation 778 1372
spanish to english translation 747 1317
english to spanish dictionary 745 1314

The first number beside each keyword is the count, the second is the predicted number.The list above generates higher numbers than Spansih Shirts because of their popularity. This is useful because it gives you another angle to attract traffic to your web site. For example you could create a page on how to learn spanish by integrating the keywords "learn spanish" in your article. The traffic this page receives may help sell more Spanish Shirts because the visitors will

visit the rest of the site.

T-Shirts

Here are the related words for the keyword T-Shirts generated by WordTracker.

1. t-shirts
2. funny t-shirts
3. tshirts
4. t-shirt
5. tee shirts
6. tshirt

8. tees
9. funny t-shirt
10. funny shirts
11. cool t-shirts
12. tee
13. funny t shirts
14. funny
15. humorous

If you do a deeper search on t-shirts you get:

t-shirts 1146 2021
t-shirt 805 1420
funny t-shirts 622 1097
custom t-shirts 375 661
christian t-shirts 185 326

rolling stones t-shirts 102 180

If you subscribe to the paid version of wordtracker you will get another 85 words.You also have the choice of digging deeper on each of the keywords above if you want to view words related to the one you chose.

Conclusion.

Doing keyword research before you write the content for your web site will help you to identify what angles you can use to attract the search engine spiders. If you create different pages that include these keywords you gain extra traffic because they receive a high number of searches.
